Increased disabled access to sea

Paralimni municipality has installed a seatrac system on one beach to allow disabled access to the water, while others are to be installed soon, it was announced on Wednesday.

Mayor Theodoros Pyrillis said that his municipality will install two seatrac systems at the beaches of Ayia Triada and Louma. The one in Ayia Triada has already been installed.

The aim, Pyrillis said, is to give the opportunity to people with disabilities to enjoy the sea like everyone else.

The first such system has been installed five years ago, in Vrysi beach, Pyrillis said, and continues to operate without any problems.

Next year, three more systems are expected to be installed, he said.

Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people.
